Hi my name is Leah (she/her).
I am a UK based photographer specialising in portrait, fashion, commercial and lifestyle photography.
My passion lies in capturing people and subjects as they truly are and using photography to tell a story or document a moment in time.
Throughout my career, I have been praised for my infectious energy, ability to bring out the best in people and giving them the space and comfort to be themselves, which is something I am keen to translate on my shoots to capture the perfect shot.
Given my business background, I also take a considered approach when working with clients to ensure we produce authentic content that aligns with their goals.
Before I became a photographer, I built a 15-year career in the fashion industry as a buyer for Topshop & ASOS, and then founded my own business, The Fashion Cultivator, where I coached fashion brand founders worldwide on branding, product development, sales, and marketing. I also taught at the Vogue College of Fashion in London, and spoke at various industry events.
Photography and shoots were always a part of my career in fashion, but it wasn’t until I took a break from the working world to become a full-time parent to my two children (now 1 and 3) that I realised I wanted to step behind the camera lens to truly fill my creative cup, instead of standing on the sidelines.
